First pro point for massive centerman Jack Finley.
This game was the explainer for the Syracuse roster at the outset of the season. Stocked to the gills with offense? Yes, especially if players like Ryfors keep developing from last season. Defense is young and goaltending still makes me a little queasy despite how well Lagace played down the stretch last season.
